In the first match of the UEFA Champions League Group G, Leipzig has made a great debut in the Bundesliga and will be the guest of Benfica.
Benfica:
Bruno Lage and his students, as we will recall, completed the last season as champion in the Portuguese League. They reached the championship two points ahead of Porto’s closest follower. In the new season they have only one defeat in the first 5 weeks. That defeat was taken against Porto in the derby. The morale of Benfica, who defeated Gil Vicente on the home court last week, is in place. Pizzi is one of Benfica’s most striking players this season. Already managed to score 8 goals in 6 matches Portuguese stars. Raul de Tomas, who was transferred with great hopes, cannot explode yet. Carlos Vinicius and Gabriel are injured by Benfica, who will host Germany’s Leipzig in the first game of the group. Gedson Fernandes is uncertain.
Leipzig :
Leipzig, in particular, has started to do well in the German Bundesliga in recent years. Although they are behind Bayern Munich, they have managed to participate in the European Cups for the last two seasons. This season, Julian Nagelsmann’s students made a great start in the first 4 weeks of the league and scored 10 points to lead the Bundesliga. They lost their single point last week against Bayern Munich at home. Timo Werner and Sabitzer started the season very well and made a significant contribution to Leipzig’s goals. Hannes Wolf is injured before Benfica. Kevin Kampş and Upamecano will be announced at the match time.
Both teams are very effective in the paths of goals. Werner and Sabitzer draw attention especially in Leipzig. I think both Benfica and Leipzig will score.
PREDICTION: Both teams to score / YES @ 1,56
